DuckDuckGo Introduces Advanced AI Searches With DuckAssist

The celebrated privacy-oriented search engine DuckDuckGo unveils its entry into the AI arena with DuckAssist. This feature uses AI generative technology to yield natural language answers to user search queries based on Wikipedia. DuckAssist displays the new instant answer in search results akin to traditional SERPs by scanning sources using active indexing. It relies on authoritative sources like Wikipedia and Britannica for information to reduce inaccuracies. It then uses natural language technology from OpenAI and Anthropic to generate a brief of its findings above the regular private search results. DuckAssist is now available in English on DuckDuckGo’s browser extensions and browsing apps. It is touted to be the first of the many such AI-assisted private search and browser updates to release from the DuckDuckGo in the future.
